Exhibitions at the J. Paul Getty Museum and at UCLA have recently displayed the rich character and diversity of Bibles--both in terms of illuminated manuscripts and printed copies over the course of a thousand years of human history. The text of this companion volume discusses the origins of the Bible, the Latin versions of the Bible, and the Bible in the liturgy and in late medieval literature. Complete with numerous illustrations, this book will be valuable to anyone with an interest in the history of the Bible.
